"A coward cannot have any of his prayers answered."
(The Strategy of the Lotus Sutra - The Writings of
Nichiren Daishonin, Vol.1, page 1001) Selection source:

encouragement, Seikyo Shimbun, January 1st, 2009

"The votary of the Lotus Sutra is certain to face attack by the three
powerful enemies, by all kinds of negative and destructive forces.
Explaining the spirit of shakubuku in his treatise 'The Opening of the
Eyes,' the Daishonin cites [the words of Chang-an]: 'One who rids the
offender of evil is acting as his parent. Those who reproach offenders are
disciples of the Buddha' (WND-1, 286). Battling the manifestations of
overbearing arrogance is the mark of one who genuinely follows the Buddha's
teaching.
"The realm of Buddhism is fair and impartial, and the law of cause and
effect is exact and uncompromising. That is why it is crucial to be strict
when it comes to dealing with corruption and wrongdoing. Our organisation
will collapse if people who are only concerned with increasing their own
influence and preserving their popularity rise to top leadership positions."
